Matrimony
Father Gene believes that there are many components that go into a relationship to create a happy marriage. Love, Honor, and Obey. Obey? Obedience doesn’t mean, “Do as you’re told.” Obedience in marriage means listening to the heart of your partner. In order to love someone, and in order to honor someone, one has to listen to them. And this idea can be a model for us for all of life as we strive to listen to others to truly understand others.

In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on the power of personal ownership—how growth often starts when we stop blaming others and start adjusting ourselves. By opening to new ideas, we rediscover the path forward and the wisdom of change.
